BIOGRAPHY
Dirk was born about 1114, the son of Floris II 'the Fat', count of Holland and Geertruid of Lorraine, who called herself Petronella after her marriage. He was about seven when his father died, and his mother acted as regent. Petronella supported the uprising of her half-brother Lothar von Supplinburg, duke of Saxony, against Emperor Heinrich V. Lothar became German king in 1125, and gave Leiden and its surroundings (officially a part of the bishopric of Utrecht) to the county of Holland.

As a very young count, Dirk was confronted with an uprising from the West-Friesians who were supported by his younger brother Floris. Though he defeated them in the winter of 1131, the struggle continued for almost another year. On 26 October 1132 his brother Floris was killed, aged just seventeen.

As Dirk received the support of his uncle Lothar von Supplinburg, Holy Roman Emperor since 1133, he was able to add the Rijnland to his county. Dirk and his mother supported the monasteries of Egmond and Rijnsburg, which flourished in this period. Monks began to work as officials for the count, because they could write and read.

Before 1137, Dirk married Sophia von Rheineck, daughter of Otto I, Graf von Rheineck and Gertrude von Northeim, Pfalzgräfin, heiress of Friesland. Dirk and Sophia had ten children, but only two are recorded as having progeny: Floris III who would succeed his father, and Otto IV.

Dirk went on a crusade to the Holy Land in 1139. He died on 5 August 1157.
